Outlook 2000, cant customize today page

[Steve Lenaghan]

When I click on 'Customize Outlook Today' nothing happens. Because of a
drive failure I had to reinstall the entire office package. The .pst
file resides on a Netware 4.11 server. I have the same problem with my
wife's machine.

Also at one time her date would include the day of the week beside the
date on the Today page.

TIA

And a tip - please do a google search first before posting - this particular
query would have given you at least *7,200* answers.....

Thank you for the tid.

Sorry I missed the part where I have to do long pointless searches instead of
getting quick answers in a specific support newsgroups. A search on google got
me an insignificant 811 answers, using the subject as posted.

Unfortunately there seem to be no references to what you sent. I guess I'm
spoilt from using Novell's support NG's.

Personally I'd remove 'works well with people' from your resume.

well I don't know quite what you searched on, but using "Cannot customize
outlook Today" in MY google NOW gives me, at THIS MOMENT, *13,100* hits.

The point is, this is a VERY common problem and there are a LOT of
resouirces out there rather than posting yet ANOTHER question about it to a
newsgroup.

And the THIRD entry on the FIRST page of the 13,000 hits was the KB I
directed you to. So a "long pointless" search is a load of rubbish.

With all due respect, I have no idea who you are or what your position is
here. Since Microsoft does not actively provide support you cannot be an
official representative.

A check of the following gave me no indication that I was required to look
elsewhere before posting here.

Instead of doing a tedious search on google, which got me adult references
in the first three, it would make sense to use the Knowledge Base which will
only return applicable content.

I'm surprised that you did not suggest this as an option considering you
quoted a KB reference.
